Define Your Assets

AnythingDB - Things

In this section, you can define the virtual digital representation of the smart connected home.
  • Things: Represent the entities in the smart connected ecosystem and store information about them.
    • Properties: Describe the Thing's attributes
    • Actions: Determine how you can interact with your Thing (for example, turn on/off)
    • Events: Monitor the changes that can modify a Thing’s property (for example, gas alarm, door open…)

For this project, you will define one Thing that will represent the Smart Home. The following properties, actions and events will be defined:

Properties:
  • Door-status
  • Fan-status
  • Gas-status
  • Humidity
  • Led-status
  • PIR-status
  • RGBD-mode
  • Raindrop-sensor
  • Temperature
  • Window-status
Actions:
  • OpenCloseDoor
  • OpenCloseWindow
  • TurnFanOnOff
Events:
  • GasAlarm
  • HighHumidity
  • HighTemperature
  • SecurityAlert
Click on + New Thing and add the following schema to define the Smart Home Thing:
